I ask you if it's possible to disable the autoupdate function. I mean the function that when connecting to internet is looking for updates of the applications. This function makes waste some MB that with a packet dataplan would be better not to loose.
Thank you in advance

Run this command in terminal:
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval 2147483647

You don't need to be root

btw, since i have already changed this, does anyone know what the default value is? i'd like to keep all these little tweaks in a folder of my own. you never know when they can come in handy again.

I think the question by droll is important.

the default value will be whatever 24hours equates to in unix time (seconds i think) the command above doesn't actually completely disable the check, just changs the interval between checks to the maximum available, which is almost as good.

Not 100% sure I've not been tinkering with the value but mine's 14400000.

I seem to get regular update-notifications with this setting and apt-worker is hogging the cpu at the most inconvenient times so it must be default or pretty close to it.

It simply forestalls the inevitable for about 1.5 million days : )

The contents of my original v1.2

/var/lib/gconf/apps/hildon/update-notifier/%gconf.xml

are:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
	<entry name="blink-after" mtime="1274812360" type="int" value="1440"/>
	<entry name="check_interval" mtime="1267468360" type="int" value="1440"/>
</gconf>
